It was an early day for most of Bravo Company. We had to in formation at 0455 this morning to catch a bus. All the soldiers that went to SRP a few days ago had to have their TB tests screened this morning. It is currently 0800. This morning at 0830 there are 36 soldiers going to M1151 driver training. The M1151 is an uparmored Humvee. They will be there most of the day and into the evening. They are required to do a night driving portion while wearing their NVGs (Night Vision Goggles).



The Stryker crews have their SGST testing today. From 0900-1100 they have classroom style instruction on the weapon systems. Then they will break for lunch. After lunch they will be tested as crews on the tasks started in the morning.



For those family members of B. Co soldiers that follow this the next FRG meeting will be 19 October at 1:00pm at the Cambridge Springs Armory. Any questions or concerns should be directed to Jennifer Bickerstaff. Email inquires through the Bravo Company email address. B.Co112thINF@gmail.com

For those faithful readers, sorrow for missing yesterday's post. It turned out to be a long and busy day for the Admin side of the house. As for today the Stryker crews had the first of three days instruction on the RWSI, which is the Remote Weapon System Improved. This new system includes a Storm Laser Range finder, an improved control grip, and a improved ammo can.

The troops that did not attend RWSI instruction attended Battle Drill Training. This training was company led and put on by 2nd platoon. It covered the following tasks; searching detainees, movement techniques as individuals, buddy teams, fire teams, and squads, and room clearing procedures.

Today's soldier of the day is SPC Nicholas Romeo. Nick is from Erie, PA and he is a 240 Gunner from 2nd Plt. Nick enjoys long walks on the beach and is a Libra. Here is what Nick has to say;
HI MOM! My birthday is the 16th of this month, feel free to send me oodles of goodies!
